The station is served by the Amtrak San Joaquins with 12 trains per day. There is a variable message sign with loudspeakers on top; presumably so a station agent can advise passengers on the approach of trains. Incredibly there is no overhead shelter provided, in direct contradiction to what is stated on the Amtrak web site (see the link below).
